Synopsis
The most glamorous of all the big Hollywood studios, MGM always began its movies with an image of the company lion giving a roar. Produced by MGM in 1992, this is the first installment of a three-volume documentary history of the studio. Narrated by actor Patrick Stewart, the program shows how Metro Goldwyn Mayer was created and thrived under the shepherding of the powerful personalities of Irving Thalberg and Louis B. Mayer. Highlights include clips from various movies, with sequences featuring MGM stars such as Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, and the Marx Brothers. The other two titles in this series are MGM: When the Lion Roars, Pt. 2: The Lion Reigns Supreme, and MGM: When the Lion Roars, Pt. 3: The Lion in Winter.
